Thought i'd just say hi, ive been floating round on these forums but now i thought i'd join up and join in. Enjoyed the saturday night cruise in wa

I havent got the money to do anythin to the engine so ive just come up with doin a show car.


I've spent the last 5 months of my life dedicated to my car, spent every pay check on it, either fixing it, or putting it towards making it look nice.




Picture of when i first got it back in beginning of 07'







What it looks like now













i now have to spend money to get it tinted, number plates and lowering

Hey mate, welcome to the nut house!

1 grand should cover the tint and new strut/spring combo!

Just keep the mods coming, but make sure you have enough cash left over to pay your bills

[ThePurpleEagle]

[mikaal]

'graphites' looks crazyyyyyyYYyyy one of the nicest secas ive seen in a while

[TRolla93]

yeah 4wd style ftw, king lows should do the job or better yet coil overs

not a fan of spray work, graphite's seca's pretty clean but would of looked mint with just a black paint job thought but hey each to their own...

[Seca Boy]

i'd hate to get a stone chip or worse yet, id hate to be in a minor accident... it'd be a cnut to get fixed!!!

[Hiro Protagonist]

Please tell me they have GZEs in them, or at least turbos with top-mounts

Bonnet scoops look ridiculous on cars that don't need them

both NA

[GTi Gaz]

Saw both of these cars on the saturday night cruise and i must say, nice work guys! For cruising they just look the business and the paint in both cases is very well done! Can't wait to see them with lowering too, should really complete the look.

Keep us posted.

i think he's getting at the fact that it looks like a 4wd being that high.....
Look good but;) flames are well done...

[Riley]

lol noob when they say 4wd they are referring to the height!

nice cars....but unless you are spray painters/pannel beaters i would almost think engine work would be cheaper than a full respray + airbrush

[ThePurpleEagle]

the panel beating/airbrushing/body kit is worth about 8000 - 10 000 (on my car) and on graphites its worth bout 7000.. My dad gave it to me for an 18th birthday present, that is why i havent touched the engine, coz i dont have the money to. Im just happy making it look nice for now.

yes it will be lowered give it few weeks =] =]

cheers for comments thus far, if any have ideas on how to make it look better, im all ears.

[psyfron]

needs a gze or better

he's just leaving his full time work now to start his own business and do restoration work full time. We did my car as a weekend job, every second night my dad will come home from work and spend until midnight working on my car(i was with him the whole time of course and learnt a fair bout the this type of work)
